During an escape attempt by Number Three who was actually Nana's sister , Kurama was infected by her vectors and thus turned into a carrier of the diclonius virus, and his daughter was born a silpelit.
In the anime she possesses 33 vectors, each with an approximate range of 11 meters the number and range is much higher in the manga. Mariko was imprisoned as an infant and raised inside a steel container with human contact consisting of nothing more than a scientist acting as a sort of foster mother through speakers and monitors. Her physical impairment is seen in her atrophied limbs as she moves around in a wheelchair.
Despite the environment she was raised in, she is relatively well developed psychologically. She is extremely homicidal and sadistic, and enjoys torturing and dismembering her victims.
Nana later weeps at all the beautiful things in life that Mariko will never know, and sees her in a dream walking with Kurama into the afterlife.
Kurama for a time goes insane from the grief accompanying Mariko's loss, attempting suicide and seeing two of Mariko's clones as his lost daughter, even viciously spurning Nana, who refused to leave his side once she found him again. But when one of them actively threatened Nana, it was enough to shake off his stupor, killing the clone and at last moving forward. In the manga series' conclusion , Kurama and Nana are seen at her grave, burying her ashes.
Presumably, these are the ashes of those parts of her that could be recovered, after the explosion. Most of the known facts about the manga version of Mariko apply here as well, but some definite differences exist.
For example, whether this was part of the unspoken plot or not, no aspersions are cast on Saito's motives, and her actions while dying seem decidedly more heroic.
Isobe is a good deal colder regarding her case and in other matters, while Shirakawa was the one disturbed by placing bombs in the body of a small child. Mariko played with Nana as she did in the manga, but in this instance, Nyu was accompanied by Kouta, when they found the police blockade rendered unconscious.
Mariko briefly threatened Kouta, though Shirakawa was more interested in why a Human and a Diclonius had any relationship at all. Mariko, now doubly enraged by Nana even having friends began to strangle Nana. In desperation, Nana disabled Mariko's vectors before collapsing through a guard railing on the bridge where the battle was taking place.
Just as with Nana, the innocent Nyu personality does not register as Lucy to Mariko, who also tearfully announces that her vectors are disabled. Isobe withdraws with Mariko, leaving the soldiers to attack Kouta and Nyu, which re-awakens Lucy and dooms Shirakawa and every soldier present.
At a nearby position, Isobe is informed by the Chief that even a powerless Mariko can be of use, perhaps indicating the possibility of clones in an unrealized anime second season. Unknowingly, Isobe's conversation informs Mariko of her family name and who her father is.
Nana, who was recovered by Kurama, pleads with him not to kill Mariko, but Kurama seems resolved. Recovering after a time, Mariko kills the soldier guarding her and goes to seek Lucy, whose presence she senses. If Lucy was able to use stealth and cunning to win the day in the manga, this all-out open raw battle went quickly to Mariko, though it is possible Lucy, dispirited by Kouta's anger at his returned memories, displayed.
This revelation is an event that occurred well after the manga equivalent of Mariko's story arc. Finally breaking one of Lucy's horns, Mariko stops, halted by the announced presence of Kurama. At first, overjoyed to see him at last, Mariko quickly lapses into despair and rage when she realizes he is there to kill her, calling out his hypocrisy and cruelty in dashing the only dream she has ever had. Enraged, she attempted to kill Nana, who had so much more than her, including their father's love.
Kurama embraces Mariko and apologizes for how little of a father he has been. Mariko learns that her mother always loved her and that her father now loves her more than life itself. Bidding Nana goodbye, Kurama orders Isobe to ignite the bombs.
As the seconds tick away, the pair imagines a blissful life if Mariko had been born without horns, till the explosion takes them both. Once back at Maple House, a tearful Nana remembers both Mariko and Nyu supposed dead at this point who will never know all the wonderful things the world has to offer.
The lack of a second season meant that any future plotlines involving the Kurama family would never come to pass. At first, Mariko appears to be the typical sort of Diclonius those who work at the Diclonius Research Institute expect them to be.
Toward human beings, she was sadistic and didn't hesitate to kill anyone who came near her. This animosity extended toward Saito, who at that point endeared herself to her enough for Mariko to refer to her as "Mommy" before realizing Saito was not her mother. Only the threat of pain kept her in line, and rather than show malice toward her handlers; she expressed a childish excitement toward maiming the other diclonius she would be allowed to fight. Her sadism, however, is only a portion of her being and is likely a front caused by the various traumas during her very short life.
Beating Nana up and taking her limbs off is little more than a game to her, like a child "tearing the wings off an insect" in the words of Shirakawa. She only appears to realize the strength of her powers regarding how it can help her.
That empowerment can take the form of escaping from her tormentors. It could be taking revenge on them such as during her initial introduction. She could see it all as a game fighting Nana , or as a way to protect herself or her family fighting Lucy, beating up Nana out of jealousy in episode 13 , yet can only take her so far.
She's incredibly precocious as well, able to trick Isobe into giving her the cell phone code to postpone her bombs' detonation and killing him afterward in the manga. He confesses his sinful actions, how he had euthanised the Diclonius children of so many parents and selfishly spared his own child, only for her to endure a harsh environment of cruelty and suffering. Holding Mariko in his arms, Kurama promises her that they will be together forever from then onward.
He tells Isobe to let Mariko's timed explosives detonate and tells Nana to be good and find a happy life for herself. He then takes Mariko down to the bridge and they embrace each other tearfully up until the moment the bomb within Mariko explodes, killing them both. Movie Morgue Wiki Explore. Wiki Content.
